The Vespertine

review 1: This is Amelia's season to come out and find a marriageable man. Her brother sends her to relations in Baltimore but instead she finds that she can tell the future and finds a young man that is definitely not to be married. Her season does not go as planned and her life becomes very interesting! It is written in a style that coincides with the period in which it takes place. This makes a difficult to get started but the story does pull the reader in.
review 2: I liked the easy reading style of the book, and the setting... the first part of the book was light and fun, but the end was pretty dark, and I wondered why the author chose to treat the characters the way she did at the end. The book is written jumping around in time in 3-4 sections, with the protago... morenist looking back at her time in Baltimore, but it's very confusing whose voice the narrative represents. I thought it was the voice of a sister or close relative, but no, it's the heroine. Though I wouldn't say that I liked the ending, I thought about the book for awhile after I read it - more than I usually do, so it definitely made an impression on me. less
